Taylor Swift "Mine" Lyrics

You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin'
Wonderin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts

I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch alone
And I can see it
Yes, yes I can see it now

CHORUS:
Do you remember we were sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

VERSE 2:
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

But we've got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take yes, yes
This is what I thought about

CHORUS:
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Oh oho oho

VERSE 3:
And I remember that fight 2:30 AM
Cause everything was slippin' right out of my hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
But you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
You said

CHORUS:
I remember how we felt sittin' by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine

Oh oh
Make it last
Hold on
Never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Woah oh

Yeah, yeah do you believe it?

Woah oh
We're gonna make it now.
Woah oh
And I can see it yeah, yeah
And I can see it now, See it now, See it now
